The Hacker Diaries Chapter 1

Hey guys, I'm back with chapter one of
this book about hacker. The book expresses different stories as
chapters' but I strongly disagree. I do disagree, but I would just
follow the book originality. So, lets stop complaining about hits
book, and lets start with the summary.

So, Genocide (Travis Ogden but not
explained in book) is a poor teenager that lived in a small shack in
Alaska. He is a child of a divorced couple, and was thought and
raised by his parents. He was the typical teen that you would meet in
your neighborhood; he wrestles for his school, and joins summer
swimming invitationals to get in good physique. He never really cared
about school. Especially when it was chemistry. The only subject he
was interested in was computer. It was the only good mark found on
his report card. That is even if he brought his report card home.
During school time, he hacks Macs in the library, and pranks users.

When it was a chemistry exam that
determined if he would get his diploma, he got his teacher's username
and password then changed his score. When he got his diploma and
could get computer courses in the University of Alaska, he put in
some commands in cmd, he found admin accounts and when admins found
out, he escapes the scene and make it look like someone else did it.

Not long after computer courses, he got
some friends and they formed a group called Genocide2600. It was a
perfect hack team; their skills combined can hack Linux well, and
they could code very well. To them, sharing files and tactics. If
they didn't share files, their group never would've moved on. After
the brotherhood had come closer, they made a site. A site that was so
complete that an amateur hacker could go there for hacking tips. When
they hacked a server called “Moon”, the FBI reasoned with the
group.

After Travis was annoyed, he left
Alaska without a degree and moved to Oregon. A few years later, he
went back to Alaska for university. Travis is now a person that works
in hacking security. Geez, what a hypocrite. This story tells us
about a poor boy that never stops at what he is interested at. His
mom is now a total stranger to him, but his shack is still a memory
that lies with him.
